_ Thinking [C#m] outrageously, I write in [A] cursive, I hide in my bed [F#m] with the lights on the floor.
[E]
Wearing three layers [C#m] of coats and leg [A] warmers, I see my own wrath [F#m] on the face of the door.
[E]
Oh, _ [C#m] I am not quite [A] sleeping.
Oh, _ [F#m] I am fast in bed.
[E]
There on the wall [C#m] in the bedroom, [A] creeping, I see a wasp [F#m] with her wings outstretched.

North of Savannah [C#m] we swim in the [A] phthalocytes, I come out wearing [F#m] my brother's red [E] hat.
There on his shoulder [A] my best friend is bit, seven times he runs, washing [F#m] his face in his [E] hands.
Oh, how I [A] meant to tease him.
Oh, _ [F#m] how I meant no harm.
[E] _
Touching his back with my hand, I kiss [A] him.
I see the wasp [E] on the length of my [A] arm.

No great _ sights out from [A] this day, [E] a big flood hurts, my head is [A] cracked.
Great, [E] I name him.
Travelling in the mud, a world of danger in the ground.
Heart of safety, [A] jealousy, great, [E] I hate it.
Travelling in the snow, a world of danger in the ground.
Now the city's name [A] is Stacey, [E] great, I name it.

Moving in the cold, fever in the mouth, _ I'm a season, [A] I can make, we [E] can get.
Standing in the water, in the pouring of the world, a giant, a [A] giant, I, I, [E] I hate it.
Coming in the cold, in the mids of the cold, washing his [A] face, I, I, [E] I hate it.
_ I can't explain the state that I'm in, the state of [A] my heart, he was my best [E] friend.
Into [B] the car, [E] from the backseat, oh [A] admiration, and falling [E]
asleep.
All [G#m] of my powers, day [E] after day, I [A] can tell you, we swaggered and [E] swayed.
Deep [G#m] in the tar, the prairies [E]
below, I [A] can tell you, the telling [E] gets old.
_ [G#m] Terrible states, and [E] terrible storms, I [A] can tell you, the day [E] we were born.
My friend is gone, he ran away, I [A] can tell you, [E] I love him each day.
Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged, I can [A] tell you, I [E] love him each day.
_ Terrible state, and terrible storms, I can tell you, I [Em] can wait.
